Zermahfs anxiety was not of long duration.
She had slipped back to her as the
Spaniard enter the central chamber.
Hidden by the door she heard the few words ex-
changed between the Indian and his master.

said

my power, and when get them"
Zermah did not hear the end of the sentence
seriously.

A few minutes later the skiff padded by the
indian left the island, trayersed the sombre

the creek. SQuambo and his master then separa-

He arrived there at dawn. in time to put his
plans in execution. Ard soon afterwards Mars
